{"product_id":"2940169250824","title":"Memoir of Jane Austen","description":"The Memoir of my Aunt, Jane Austen, has been received with more favour than I had ventured to expect.  The notices taken of it in the periodical press, as well as letters addressed to me by many with whom I am not personally acquainted, show that an unabated interest is still taken in every particular that can be told about her.  I am thus encouraged not only to offer a Second Edition of the Memoir, but also to enlarge it with some additional matter which I might have scrupled to intrude on the public if they had not thus seemed to call for it.  In the present Edition, the narrative is somewhat enlarged, and a few more letters are added; with a short specimen of her childish stories.  The cancelled chapter of `Persuasion¿ is given, in compliance with wishes both publicly and privately expressed.  A fragment of a story entitled `The Watsons¿ is printed; p. iii and extracts are given from a novel which she had begun a few months before her death; but the chief addition is a short tale never before published, called `Lady Susan.¿ {0a}  I regret that the little which I have been able to add could not appear in my First Edition; as much of it was either unknown to me, or not at my command, when I first published; and I hope that I may claim some indulgent allowance for the difficulty of recovering little facts and feelings which had been merged half a century deep in oblivion. - James Edward Austen-Leigh in the Preface to \u003ci\u003eMemoir of Jane Austen\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"DISCOS PALMAS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159014195440,"sku":"2940169250824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169250824_p0.jpg?v=1772800946","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169250824","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
